"One should doubtless keep an open mind...though open at both ends, like the food pipe, and have a capacity for excretion as well as intake." -- Northrop Frye, 'The Great Code'

Michael Coren thinks Bernie Farber is a moron. Bernie proves it.
Watching this exchange, I think that Mr. Coren is the one who came off seeming foolish. Unless you are already convinced of Coren's side, this exchange will not only not convinve you, it will make you tune our side out.
Xanthippa, Not sure where you're coming from on this, but this very brief exchange, by itself, clearly could not "convince" anyone who isn't already aware of the issues and of Coren's and Farber's positions on free speech and the HRC kangaroo court censors. Those who are and side with Coren are given additional proof that Farber's grasp of what "free" speech means is either exceedingly weak or, worse, he understands it and wants to suppress it anyway.
"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." -- C. S. Lewis

Holy crap, he takes stupid to a whole new level!
"The law DOES apply equally to everyone, *BUT*..."
That pretty much says it all.
